last Thursday morning to work out
his assessments on stock subscriptions.

as MANY men at work on the ditch.
The settlers under the ditch are a de-
termined little band, and they con-
hdentIy expect to get water to the
top of the bluff before next spring.
Once at the top of the bluff it will be
easv work to carry it forward to the
